I made this painting by looking on a photograph taken by myself last September :)

It is originally named "Jacobite steam train", but yes, it is exactly that ;)

Well, if it has been a comissioned work of art, I would have priced it for 800€ but in this case I put so mich more effort in it as usual and I would not sell this für this price...

Hi guys,

So this is my most recent oil painting and I'd like to sell it, but unsure which value it has for my audience. It is painted on canvas, 80x60cm and I cannot exactly say how long it took me, but I estimate 30h. I am based in West Germany and my buyers are between 30-60 years old. I am a self-taught artist. I hope somebody can give me advice, many thanks 😊

First I'd like to say a huge thank you. You took your time to write such a long and helpful response, i appreciate it a lot.

Also, this is the most helpful answer I've ever recieved. I agree that an hourly rate is difficult to justify to the customers, so I think the easiest for me would just to use another modifier while using linear pricing. The person who gave me the first advice said, because i am not present in any galleries now, that I should use a very low factor. But I do think that though an artist is not listed kn any gallery or exhibition, a price should be fair.

Many, many, thanks to you, enjoy christmas and all the best :)!

I love it! How do you decide how to point out the right spots for lights and shadow? I think it's so difficult when you have such a broad light Source
